During covid I bought a 4x4 pickup for 10 grand and it is maybe the best purchase I’ve ever made in my entire life. 2007 Sierra with every option except sunroof. It’s been to the arctic circle and back and I’ve been out camping at least every second weekend since obtaining it. It’s a little beat up but mechanically sound so I don’t feel guilty about things breaking or putting kilometers on it and I use it way more than I ever expected to

Heavy metal and I actually doubt there’s anyone here who’s more of a walking encyclopedia

Won’t catch me dead driving a tesla but obviously they test safety in order to pass regulations lol

I was in a relationship from age 22 to 30 and for the last half I was miserable but thought it was the best I could do and would be forever alone. She cheated on me and I almost killed myself over it but turned out to be a blessing in disguise

In a new relationship for the last 3 months with a girl who’s hotter, smarter, younger and is obsessed with anal and unlike my ex I actually think I’ll put a ring on this one

Just leave them and don’t waste your 20s like me if you’re young

I’m so happy I’m not as stupid as I thought because I have no idea either and now I still don’t know

Yeah job for a cowboy would have me getting up to turn that shit off real fast

A quick search says they do crash testing, is this bullshit?

I’m from rural alberta and a lot of my family have embraced the separatist rhetoric. I can’t speak to people that I’ll be at war against if this actually comes to fruition

My parents are normal but I don’t speak to any other relatives anymore.

And here i’ve been whining daily about my 50mbps dsl

They are one of the classics lol

Wes Borland is one of the most underrated guitar players easily

Right now I’m trying to learn Downfall by Children of Bodom

Hell yeah come over! I have lots of cool pointy guitars

You can watch me practice and fuck up the same riff for 3 hours straight if you want

Yeah in the pnw it’s gotten a little dystopian to say the least

It’s our biggest tourism season in history this summer but that’s thanks to Trump haha

Don’t think it’s had much effect because we’ve always had hotel capacity for the demand

Yeah it freed up entire apartments is what helped. I was able to BUY my own condo due to a slight correction in prices partly thanks to this policy

I bet someone would have outbid me and made it into an airbnb if not for this policy

Hahaha fuck I miss old Canmore

Just go on realtor.ca and look for 0 bedroom 1 bath units

20k down will get you into a <400k condo that will be like 2/3 the cost of what rent would be

However I would be concerned it’s a hard sell in 5 years when you want to upgrade. I know a lady who lives happily in 400sqft but I couldn’t.

You can also buy one of these tiny former airbnb studio condos for like 20k cad down if you are desperate. Good way to enter the market if that’s all you can come up with. They are all sitting on the market and you can lowball.
